Benefits of technology

The invention provides a method for continuous synchronization and suppression of transmission jitter in a basic clock pulse system. It achieves this by automatically performing individual actions based on a protected and redundant transmission process. The method ensures that failure of individual transmissions does not result in a loss of synchronicity of a component at any time. It also allows for the interface with low-level components of the system and ensures that the process is executed without any errors. The invention is advantageously implemented in software and computer program products, which allows for easy integration with other components of the system. Overall, the invention improves the stability and reliability of the clock pulse system.

Problems solved by technology

This means it is not able to follow the step size during the phase shift (see FIG. 5).
Therefore, for a temporary period, another synchronization method is used, which, although it can follow the phase shift, is not able to suppress the jitter.
The drawback with this known method for synchronizing an isochronous basic clock pulse system with a previously independent topologically higher-ranking clock pulse system is that, due to the abrupt change to the clock pulse period, in addition to the residual jitter, faultless communication with the master clock is no longer guaranteed, for example due to a violation of one of the transmit time slots assigned to the component.

Abstract

A method for synchronizing a basic clock pulse system having a plurality of synchronized components with a higher-ranking clock pulse system includes, in a first step of the synchronization, determining a phase difference between an actual phase of the basic clock pulse system and a nominal phase of the higher-ranking clock pulse system and transmitting the phase difference to the components of the basic clock pulse system and, in a second step of the synchronization, using the determined phase difference as a pilot control for each component, i.e. for the pilot control of a clock pulse generator of each component.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority of European Patent Application, Serial No. 14163047.5, filed Apr. 1, 2014, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d), the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as if fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a method for synchronizing an isochronous system with a previously independent topologically higher-ranking clock pulse system. For differentiation from the higher-ranking clock pulse system, the clock pulse system of the isochronous system, which is to be connected to the higher-ranking clock pulse system, is referred to in the following as an isochronous basic clock pulse system or in short as a basic clock pulse system.[0003]The following discussion of related art is provided to assist the reader in understanding the advantages of the invention, and is not to be construed as an admission that this related art is prior art to t...
